The objective of the training program was to show you and your crew how to build successfully with
Nudura, Fastfoot, Fast-Tube, Helix and Prefab Monopour.

This four and one half hour training session was designed for framers and forming
contractors and provides the knowledge and skills necessary to build
proficiently with these sustainable products for the concrete forming
industry. This
course provided 4.0 points for Continuing Professional Development for those
builders registered with BC Housing.

Katherine has worked in quality control for 17 years, first starting with
the the Miller Group in Eastern Canada, testing Aggregates and Asphalt - both
in the lab and insitu placement. She then worked three years for an Engineering Company that developed asphalt and
concrete mix designs, becoming supervisor of the Asphalt QC/QA CCIL Testing Lab and performed QA Management and testing of Aggregates,
Asphalt and Concrete paving for Airport, Ministry and Municipality Projects.

Returning to the Miller Group as QC Director for the Transit and
Infrastructure Division, she was involved in the dedicated bus line expansion in the GTO Region.
The project included underground water work relocation, road
expansion, bridgework, retaining walls, CIP culverts and bus stations. In 2013, Katherine moved to BC to become the GVA Quality Manager of Ready Mix for Lafarge
Holcim.

If you want to understand concrete, you must
hear Katherine's talk. In particular, she will discuss what causes
concrete to "go off" which is an extremely important part of pouring ICF
foundations in lifts. Otherwise form failure will result.

With Nudura, the blocks click together horizontally. Form uplift does not occur.
